Nevertheless, metal oxides exhibit relatively high electrical resistance, and their selectivity and signal-to-noise ratio for low-concentration glucose detection still require improvement. We here developed a NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers-based glucose biosensor with excellent performance. The heterojunction of NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers is obtained via a two-step process involving electrospinning and hydrothermal methods, respectively. The resulting sensor exhibits good activity as an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of glucose, with an ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of 2 nM and a good sensitivity of 1147 uA mM?1 cm?2, in line with excellent long-term stability, reproducibility, and good selectivity. These high-performance sensor are validated by monitoring glucose levels in human saliva. It demonstrates that heterojunction of NiO@In2O3 hollow nanofibers can be used as effective electrochemical sensing materials in practical biological applications.}, issn = {0026-265X}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.microc.2024.112401} }
